Caray, Caray!

This was a 'I cry, You cry, let's see who can cry the loudest type episode', more of Luci and David at each other's throat's....yawn...It must be exhausting to live at this vineyard.

Most of the comments on the original patio were anti-Leon and Sonia but I kind of like it. They are both sort of the odd ones out and not quite outsiders but not really 'in' the crowd either, I think it could be a good match even though there may be a age difference there. The ages are all over the place in this show that I can't keep it straight.

I really can't remember what else happened it was a day full of computer issues at work and I was only able to pay half-attention.
 

Vino. Yep, Darcy, it's about time for David to grow up, but not going to happen for many episodes, I suspect. And ho hum, Luci and Miguel can have a couple of days off and go to San Francisco, they can't, and then they can again, and I think at the very end of the episode David has a tantrum and says they can't. San Francisco isn't all that far away from Sonoma, btw. You could have a very nice day in SF without having to spend the night. And now Juan is scheming to get undocumented workers to work at the vineyard, then get David caught and blamed for hiring them. That coyote character was a total cliche. I'm not sure you could get away with having someone quite like that in a US-produced program. The upside is that he may use Juan's scheme against Juan. Blackmil, anyone?

Another day of whining, fighting and more whining. I was thinking today that this is why some people most prefer to play villain's. Would you rather play Luci and have to be in an emotional upheaval and constant angst? Or play Grace and put on a bunch of red lipstick and walk around with an evil smirk on your face torturing all the poor souls who signed up to play the emotional saps??? I would def pick Grace! Irina probably would too, that's why she has played far more villain roles than heroines.

I noticed when Marta and Ramon were talking she called him 'usted', how weird is it that two people who have lived and worked together for 20+ years would be speaking to each other so formally?

I was disappointed that Leon just thinks going out with Sonia might think Carito jealous, but I get it in a way. He isn't seeing Sonia as a person, he's seeing her simply as Lilian's right-hand man and a likely spy. I am still interesting in seeing their date. I bet Sonia is fun on a date!!

I don't like this whole coyote cliche one bit!!! We had enough dramatics and now we have trafficking? And it doesn't seem like they are just being brought to the US to work. If they have to work so hard to assure all the poor people that everything is going to be okay, it's because it most definitely is NOT!!! Yikes!
 

Vino. Very funny--and so true--about Luci and Grace, Darcy, Whiney heroine and villain. I still think that coyote worker smuggling business is going to backfire on Juan. And how many more "barriers" are they going to put in the way of Luci and Gutierrez encountering each other? This time a trip to San Francisco. What next?

I am so uninterested in the plight of Gutierrez....I wish I could summon some curiosity for where/how/when he will get out of this but I just don't care. I guess it's because I don't see Marta is innocent or a victim....I just think both those ladies deserve her.

I was right, Sonia on a date was fun to watch!!! Too bad she was so cold and rude the next day but you could tell she felt bad about it. It was silly and naïve of Leon to think he could walk into the big house unannounced and just say 'Good Morning!' In front of Lillian and everything! Sad

I'm trying to hold on to the feelings of sympathy for Luci but she really is a busybody!!! She had no business running in and demanding justice for Bobby, especially since she didn't know the details. She just assumed and accused Grace of not keeping her promise and once again looks like a moron when the jerseys show up as promised! Grace is definitely not the perfect aunt - proved by her admitting today she wanted to banish Bobby to boarding school - and I am not defending her, just pointing out once again that Luci has no idea how to deal with Grace, she's her best ally while trying to be her enemy and she makes herself look stupid.

I knew Tano liked Fern - I'm glad he admitted it! I still can't see him and Susan together as HEA, although I think that's probably the end game here. I don't think Fern should be end game for anyone, she's too young.

Carito feeling all abandoned because now she's lost Leon too!!! hahahahahahaha
 

Vino. Ho Hum. Yo por vos, vos por otro. I think Fer should concentrate on Peter, who is her age and seems like an ideal boyfriend. Of course there's always the chance he'll turn out to be a jerk, but it's more likely he'll get his heart broken. Fer does seem rather selfish. I'm just waiting for Gutierrez to get his comeuppance. And those rotten bullies just kept on mistreating Bobby even after he gave them the playeras. Oh, for a beefy older brother or cousin at the school! Wonder how the bullies will get theirs. Maybe nasty Grace would have an idea? But she doesn't seem all that concerned.
